Winslow Ames House, International Style residence in New London, Connecticut.
The Winslow Ames House features three rectangular modules constructed with a steel framework, incorporating a flat roof and industrial materials throughout its structure.
Built in 1933 for art history professor Winslow Ames, the house cost $4,500 and represents an early example of prefabricated modular construction methods.
The house demonstrates the integration of European modernist architectural principles into American residential design through its unornamented appearance and functional layout.
After extensive restoration between 2008 and 2013, Connecticut College converted the building into office and meeting spaces while maintaining its structural integrity.
The building contains an integrated utility core housing all plumbing and heating systems, showcasing innovative engineering solutions for prefabricated homes of the 1930s.
